A Romantic Story of a Girl from the Qin Dynasty

Li Mu, who was far away in Yanmen, suddenly received the news of his appointment. Naturally, he felt baffled. He took the letter written by the monarch and wondered if there was any other deep meaning in it.

Seeing the letter, Li Xi felt that there was fraud in it and did not dare to let Li Mu return to Handan rashly. He persuaded him to stay in Yanmen and no longer participate in the struggle between countries.

"The post of general was appointed by Lian Po. How could he suddenly be asked to step down and look for you? Not to mention that Zhao Yan had already had a grudge with his brother. He hadn't seen his brother for many years. Now he suddenly received a letter and was granted the title of general. There is a conspiracy."

"What you said makes sense, but now I'm just a soldier stationed at Yanmen, and I can't threaten the monarch. If he wants to kill everyone, he can just send people to take my life. Why go through all the trouble?"

"The general doesn't know something..."

The messenger who just delivered the letter whispered:

"General Lian Po, who was killing the enemy on the front line, was suddenly dismissed. It was General Lian Po who threatened the king with his life in front of your Majesty to appoint you as the new general. Your Majesty was afraid that General Lian Po would really commit suicide in front of the palace and give yourself It leaves a stigma, so I urgently summoned General you back."

"General Lian was dismissed?! What the hell is going on? He didn't fight well in this battle! How could he be suddenly dismissed?!"

Li Mu stood up straight in shock and looked at the messenger in disbelief.

"Since this is the case, brother can't go back! Who knows whether that faint king will kill him!"

Li Xi answered quickly.

"Even Lian Po, who has worked hard and made great achievements, can be dismissed for no reason, let alone my brother!"

The messenger respects Lian Po and is naturally aggrieved. Seeing him shaking his head and sighing, he is very helpless.

"It's not the Prime Minister next to the monarch who is causing trouble! General Li, you don't know something... Now this court, wherever it is the monarch's court, has become Guo Kai's world!

"How is this court? What does it have to do with my brother?! The king demoted my brother to Yanmen, but he never cared about it! Now that the country is in trouble, he thinks of his brother and asks him to charge into battle to save his throne! How can there be such an unreasonable thing? ?!”

Li Xi was aggrieved on Li Mu's behalf, and even more hated the faint king he had never seen before.

But Li Xi's sharp words never extinguished Li Mu's desire to serve the country loyally. Even though he knew that he might face more dangers and hardships when he returned to Handan City, he still made the decision.

No one can influence his return.

On the eve of his departure, Li Mu called Li Xi to the camp. Years of wind and rain at the border had made the girl in front of him inexperienced in the world, and she grew into a fairly stable older girl.

Even after the two have been together for many years, Li Mu still doesn't know where Li Xi comes from. She has no memory of her past and is like a blank sheet of paper, allowing others to leave traces on it.

"We are going back to Handan tomorrow, aren't you happy?"

Li Xi never smiled again in the past few days.

"unhappy."

She looked reluctant and muttered

"It's naturally a good thing for my brother to return to Handan and become a general, but in this case, you and I, brother and sister, will no longer be able to stay together. You will go to fight on the front line, and I... can no longer be by your side."

"What you said is true, but I can't stay in Yanmen forever. Now that Zhao Guo needs me, how can I stand by and watch? Zhao Guo gave birth to me and raised me... I really can't watch him die."

Naturally, Li Xi couldn't understand the emotions of a country. She was just a duckweed who happened to be in the country of Zhao. Li Xi didn't know where her hometown came from, and she had never thought about it.

"There's just one thing that I'm still not worried about."

Li Mu patted Li Xi's head and said seriously

"If I am leading an army on an expedition, and you want to go out or go somewhere, you'd better cover your face with a veil so that no one can see your face, so as not to cause more trouble."

"Is it because...you said I look like Shikiya?"

Li Xi touched his face. The name Shimi... was not the first time he heard it from Li Mu. Li Mu never said much and always stopped talking. Although Li Xi didn't know what happened between the two of them, he vaguely sensed that Li Mu didn't want to share this memory with others.

"Yes, you are very similar to her, but I have been with you for a long time, and sometimes I feel that you are not like her. In the past... when the monarch was still the crown prince, he used some means to detain her in the Kingdom of Zhao. Mi committed herself to become his concubine, but not long after, she returned to Qin. For this reason, the monarch has always been grudged, and there is a gap between me and no longer trusts me. So... if you let him see your appearance, I'm afraid that you will be forced to serve in the palace through unreasonable means. I don't want you to live without freedom like Shimina. Although I am happy when I return to Handan this time, I am more worried about your future. In Handan city, Danger is everywhere, and the danger brought by your appearance also worries me..."

Li Mu's tone was slow, and his gentle voice was full of care. Even though he is so gentle, Li Xi also understands that the brother in front of him can only be an older brother. If he wants to go further, it is impossible.

"Although Yanmen is hard work, it is free here. Although I like it here, if my brother wants to go back to Handan, I am willing to go with you. As for the danger in Handan City, I will naturally protect myself and not worry you."

Li Mu returned to Handan, and was called into the palace by Zhao Yan as soon as he entered the city, while Li Xi returned to the Li Mansion after a long absence.

This is the second time Li Mu has stepped into the palace hall after many years. The king he has not seen for many years is even more haggard than before. He does not look like the king of a country. Seeing him lazily reclining on the throne, surrounded by several beauties, it is absurd and... Outrageous scenes can be seen every day.

There are countless ridiculous things that Zhao Yan has done for the king. What is unheard of is that he once appointed several prostitutes as his queen. The prostitutes became the queen of a country, which made everyone in the Zhao country look shameful, but Zhao Yan did not care about it. These things, established and abolished, tossing and turning, only waste people and money!

"General Li... I haven't seen you for many years. How are you?"

His tone sounded more like that of a drug addict.

"Your Majesty..."

Li Mu cupped his fists and saluted, but Zhao Yan just sneered a few times and said

"This time Yan and Qin jointly attack, do you have the confidence to resist it?"

"If you trust me, your Majesty, Li Mu will live up to everyone's expectations!"

Zhao Yan smiled, then pushed away the beauties surrounding him, and walked down from the throne with slightly staggering steps. His steps were slow and a little light. Li Mu saw that he was only thirty, but he was so drunk. So injured and haggard.

Zhao Yan surrounded Li Mu, smiling but not smiling. He smelled of alcohol. He still looked at him up and down, as if examining something. Li Mu didn't know what he meant and could only stand where he was.

It seemed that after a long time, Zhao Yan slowly opened his mouth and said

"Li Mu, you are getting old too...look at you...you have gray hair..."
